The Great Watchers
Think of those great watchers of the sky,
the shepherds, the magi, how they looked
for a thousand years and saw there was order,
who learned not only Light would return,
but the moment she’d start her journey.
No writing then. The see-ers gave
what they knew to the song-makers –
the dreamy sons, the daughters who hummed
as they spun, the priestly keepers of story –
and the clever-handed heard, nodded,
and turned poems into New Grange,
Stonehenge, The Great Temple of Karnak

It is an amazing story, to have dropped out of a tree, began walking upright, and looking at things, remembering and learning how to share what was remembered. Nils
